'Netflix is a Joke' is a series and upcoming 11-day live comedy festival featuring some of the biggest names in comedy at some of the most iconic Southern California venues. Tickets are live now folks!
I'm not saying I believe they'll drop their prices after implementing this, I don't expect them to (even though it is possible if they get enough backlash and lose enough subscribers) I'm saying that I fully believe it wouldn't be at the price it is today if they would've implemented this a long long time ago. I'm pissed every time they raise their prices and I've said for years that I wish they would just stop allowing password sharing instead of raising prices.
That's exactly what I stated pages ago. I want 1080p FHD, so I have to buy 2 screen plan. Why not make the 1 screen plan FHD quality? Then guess what? No extra screen to share.
Post after post, you keep saying that increased prices = password sharing. Using the same logic if everyone has their own subscription, then prices SHOULD decrease! Or (as many of us here have pointed out), it will just be a giant money grab for Netflix and they'll increase subscriptions, rake in more money, and keep raising prices.
Jesus Christ dude, I'm not against what you're saying, I also, like you, hate the dumb notion that the 4K tier also has the dumb "4 screens" thing, I would personally love (and think they should) have 4K no matter what tier you're on. All I'm saying is you have to look at the business side of it, password sharing is bad for their business, and everyone here is trying to argue that it's good for their business, like it's a feature that's helping them more than it's hurting them. And I simply disagree, I think it was stupid of them to allow and encourage password sharing from the beginning because it is clearly only sending a negative message now when they OBVIOUSLY have to take it away.
Netflix doesn’t have to buy the show. It has a model it thinks works. If the show is that great, and not under contract, someone else will make it. That has zero (0) to do with market control.
Did you even read the analysis of the issue? It doesn’t matter what people want. We see this with the games industry too. Many industries. Corporations tell us what they want us to want. And then they cancel product and shows that make a good profit just because they don’t make ALL the profit.
Yes, I read it. Like I wrote, Netflix has a model that they think works for them. You don’t have to agree. You don’t have to like it. You don’t have to give them money. They aren’t “controlling” anything beyond what they choose to produce and air. If someone else sees potential in that show, or whatever else Netflix doesn’t, then someone will pick up the show. If not, then not.
It must be nice to have your wants aligned with global corporate interests.
I want what I want. Whether I can get it at a price I want, or at all, is a separate issue.
I stopped focusing on the Netflix and streaming media part of this subject long ago in this conversation; sorry if that was opaque.
How is it handwaving? I don't have the inclination (nor the responsibility) to spend my own time trying to introduce to you (random internet stranger on a forum) concepts that other people have already published about. All you need to do is just go look. That I'm not going to hand-deliver the content to you directly does not falsify my statements.
You said it is actually quite hard to pick another store, etc. I asked for an example of how that’s hard. You didn’t provide an example. That’s fine. Your lack of desire to support your claim doesn’t put the onus on me to support it for you.
